The multiplayer games with the best skins allow players to express themselves and, in some cases, even show off their love for other franchises with crossover skins. Sometimes, the quality of a game's skins and other cosmetics can be a determining factor of success.

6 Dota 2

Beautiful In-Game Models

Dota 2 might not be the most popular MOBA, but it is often regarded by many as having the most beautiful graphics, and thus boasts a vast collection of stunning skins and other cosmetic items. The interesting thing about skins for Dota 2 heroes is that as well as being available via random treasure chests, players can buy them from other players on the market.

This means that many skins are relatively cheap due to them being more common, and players will find many great deals. Due to the game's fantasy setting, spooky and creepy Dota 2 skins are particularly great, and players have tonnes of customization options. The best skins are Arcanas, which change everything about the hero from their model and animations to sound and visual effects.

5 Rocket League

Unlock Iconic Cars Such As The Batmobile & Lightning McQueen

Skins in Rocket League are a bit different from other games, seeing as the skins are for cars, and this adds a new element of excitement for players looking to unlock cosmetics. Players are able to customize almost every aspect of their cars, or they can acquire complete skins, and the best of these are often part of collaborations with other franchises.

The best Rocket League crossover skins include various Batmobiles, James Bond's Aston Martin, Lightning McQueen from Cars, and even Formula 1 vehicles. Rocket League cars and skins don't all have to be of the sleek racing variety, however, as players can instead choose to take bulky vans and the like into the arena.

4 Fall Guys

Silly Skins That Standout As Well As Popular Collaborations

Fall Guys is a game that is all about having fun, so it makes sense that their skins are equally silly and creative. As little humanoid beans, and with two eyes almost always poking out, every costume looks funny. With up to 60 players at the start of each game, the most hilarious and colorful skins truly stand out and have other players laughing as everyone waddles up to the first obstacle.

Following in the footsteps of Fortnite, Fall Guys also has many collaborations with popular franchises. For example, players can dress their bean up as Sonic, Doctor Who, or their favorite Star Wars character.

3 SMITE

Lots Of Unique Crossover Skins & Some Beautiful Splash Arts

SMITE is a MOBA played in the third person, which gives players a better look at their character than other MOBAs. As such, it makes sense that the game features beautiful skins. The best SMITE skins are complete with new models, effects, a splash art, and much more. Some even incorporate multiple skins into one or feature evolutions over time.

There are also a number of crossovers, some of which may come as a surprise. For example, while collaborations with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Stranger Things, and Avatar the Last Airbender may be more traditional, there are also Slipknot skins and a Bob Ross skin for the god Sylvanus.

2 League Of Legends

Each Skin Is A Work Of Art & There Are Dozens Of Unique Themes

While League of Legends doesn't have many crossover skins, the sheer creativity and skill of Riot's art team means it still has some of the best skins in the industry. There's a lot that goes into the best League skins, which not only feature a shiny new model, but also new spell effects, sounds, and even new animations and voiceovers for Legendary skins.

This doesn't even take into account the beautiful splash arts, many of which are true masterpieces. For most modern LoL skins, players are even able to unlock chromas to further customize their champion's look. Each year, League players are treated to new creative themes, as well as the return of popular skin lines such as Pool Party, PROJECT, and Star Guardian. The winners of Worlds also get their own skins. Players will also find that there are many ways to regularly unlock free skins in League, and almost everything is available via chance.

1 Fortnite

Creative Skins & The Best Crossovers With Tonnes Of Popular Franchises

In terms of creativity and crossovers, Fortnite truly sets the standard when it comes to skins. With around 2000 skins and counting for players to choose from, there's something for everyone, from dark, brooding aesthetics, to bananas in suits, and of course, popular characters from almost every franchise.

It is these crossover skins where Fortnite truly shines, with fans able to get excited to play as their favorite characters from Marvel, DC, Star Wars, and seemingly every other IP. In addition to comic book and movie characters, Fortnite also has gaming legend skins that include Master Chief, Kratos, and Geralt of Rivia.
